This article opens with a 3-year-old forced to represent herself in court. We live in a fundamentally sick country.
There is no sight that more efficiently puts the lie to immigration “court” than the common sight of children “representing themselves.” Children too small to climb into the chair, children in pajamas who don’t know where they are, children not yet old enough to speak.

We are a top global exporter of fossil fuels for export, and Labor shows no signs of listening to the science by stopping coal and gas approvals - in fact, in the environmental reforms recently, they wanted to speed them up!
